x.
Xxxxxxxx represents and warrants that he has had access to the business plan of TMI and is fully familiar with and understands its contents; acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the management and from the authorized representatives of TMI concerning TMI and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished; has read carefully the acquisition documents; and has based any investment decision on such information as is described above and supplied herein and has not received any other written communication in connection with this transaction. In addition, Shepherd is aware that TMI files periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and annual reports on Form 10-KSB, and that such reports are available for review on the SEC’s website at xxx.xxx.xxx and that copies of such reports have or will be provided by TMI to Shepherd upon request. Shepherd represents and warrants that he has received or reviewed TMI’s SEC reports, and the financial statements included therein, and is fully aware of the business and financial condition of TMI. For the purpose of this Agreement use of words “Shepherd” may denote a trustee acting in a fiduciary capacity.
x.
Xxxxxxxx represents and warrants that he understands and acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and that the Shares are being acquired by Shepherd without a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of such Shares or any interest therein without registration or other compliance under the Securities Act, and that he has no direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting of such an undertaking.
x.
Xxxxxxxx understands and acknowledges the following:
1)
The Shares are being offered and sold under applicable exemptions from securities registration as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering and that any disposition of the Shares may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make Shepherd an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
2)
The Shares have not been registered under the Act or under any securities act; the Shares cannot be sold or transferred unless they are registered under the Act or an exemption from registration is available; TMI are under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act except as may be expressly agreed to by them in writing or to take any action which would make available any such exemption from the registration requirements of any such laws; the issuer’s registrar and transfer agent will maintain a stop transfer order against the registration of transfer of the Shares; and the certificates representing the Shares will bear legends in substantially the following form so restricting the sale of such Shares.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“THE SECURITIES ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
3)
The issuer may refuse to register transfer of the Shares in the absence of compliance with rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless the undersigned furnishes the issuer with a “no action” or interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the issuer stating that the transfer is proper; further, unless such letter or opinion states that the Shares are free of any restrictions under the Securities Act, the issuer may refuse to transfer the Shares to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to the issuer the same representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to such Shares as set forth herein. The issuer may also refuse to transfer the Securities if any circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the transferee’s representations are not accurate.
4)
TMI’s shares are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “TMLL.” There is no assurance that the public market for the TMI Shares will continue or that the current prices for such Shares will be maintained and, accordingly, each Shepherd must bear the economic risk of each Shepherd’s investment for an indefinite period of time.
5)
Shepherd is acquiring the Shares solely for Shepherd’s own account, for investment only, and not with a view toward the further public distribution thereof. Shepherd will not sell, transfer, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Shares, or any portion thereof, unless such sale, transfer, hypothecation, or other disposition is made in compliance with the requirements of the Act and all applicable laws.
6)
SHEPHERD RECOGNIZES ANY INVESTMENT IN TMI INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK.
7)
Shepherd has adequate financial means of providing for its current needs and financial contingencies without the need for liquidity in this investment, has the ability to bear the economic risk of this investment and can afford a complete loss of the purchase price or the opportunity. Shepherd has no reason to contemplate any change in his or her financial circumstances.
8)
Shepherd is familiar with, and has the knowledge and expertise in, financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and the risks involved in the acquisition of the Shares or the exercise of any option.
9)
Shepherd understands that no governmental agency has approved or disapproved the Shares or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the acquisition of the Shares or the exercise of any option.
d. Upon the request of either TMI and in order for TMI to document its compliance with applicable corporate and securities laws, Shepherd agrees to complete an accredited investor status questionnaire, an investment representation letter prior to any closing and other reporting documentation as may be reasonably required.
